`†' Every Christian recognizes that symbol, It is the Cross upon which Jesus Christ Our Lord, was sacrificed for all of our sins, in who so ever believes in him. In MS Script it is the dagger, and used to symbolize death and eternity. Sort of like being a Christian of the wrong side in politics.
In a brief reading of another blog sight, http://aurorawatcher.blogtownhall.com/2008/06/14/sbc_position_on_tri-unity_of_god.thtml, I read how a Southern Baptist dismissed the belief of the Holy Trinity buy one Christian Group as wrong and imposed her own interpertation of it as factual.
I know I will really stir up a couldron of mess here, but the Trinity is the Holy of Holies in the communal link of our belief in the One God the Father, His only and Begotten Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. The three are revered as one entity by many Christians and as three distinct entities by others.
However you believe in them, the fact that you do, makes you a Christian in my book and I'll bet anyone Dollars to Donuts so does it in Gods. For He asks of us to believe in him, and all things that are of his creation. For those of us who are not of the Jewish Faith or peoples, he has asked this only once of us, he has asked his chosen peoples now twice and look at all the hassels they go through.
So too chastize a fellow Christian, for how they connect the Trinity of Faith is like saying, your no Christian because you go to the wrong Churh, or do not wear the proper shoes, or vote the wrong political party. And it was with this insight I believe, that challenge our forefathers and lead them to discern that Religion and how one believed should ever be allowed in our Government.
Sure we took many of the basic laws of Christianity and the Ten Commandments as a guide for our own laws. But so did the English Court System, which we having been once subjects too, did so also obide by and thus modeled our own court system after and applied its Cannon of Basic Laws.
With that take a look, it works well and will I pray for a very long time to come. So the next time someone tells you that the Christian Majority or the Christian Believers want this done as a moral issue, and you do not favor it or want it imposed. Ask them, which Christians do you speak of, for I am a Christian and I do not want it.
So aurorawatcher, let those that believe in him do so, without critiscism.
